Themoment IL diagram is obtained by plotting the internal moment (computed using Hooke’s lawand the bending stress equation) versus load position. A simple demonstration is used to showsimilarities in the experimental IL diagrams and the deflected shape of the beam produced by theremoving the capacity of the beam to carry a particular quantity (i.e. Muller-Breslau Principle).For further study of how IL diagrams are useful to solve problems involving arbitrary loadings(or worst case loadings), the exercise requires students to calculate the theoretical reaction andmoment under a various loadings produced by distributed sand bags and concentrated pointloads.

The 3 semester-hour course meets three times a weekfor 50 minutes. The course grew out of the goals mentioned above, and out of a senior-levelbioprocess engineering course taught at Cornell University (Walker, 1993). During my first yearof graduate school I had taken this course; in subsequent years I guest lectured in the class anddeveloped a case study for the class.

, the female students who excel in mathematics, like those who take calculusin high school, rarely consider engineering as a valuable career. This is obvious from number offemale honor students and the number of women entering engineering. As an example, I noticedthis in the 1995 graduating high school class of Glendale (California): from about 50 female honorstudents only two showed interest in studying engineering. According to National ScienceFoundation (NSF) statistics only 11% of engineering students are female [3].However, I have found from my own experience that many mothers are very enthusiastic whenproperly introduced to experimental aspects of science and engineering.
